Wash the peppers, shorten the stems, halve them lengthwise, and remove the seeds.
In a wide bowl, mix the olive oil, crushed garlic, dried thyme, salt, and optional red pepper flakes; coat the peppers in this sauce.
Arrange the peppers in a single layer on the baking tray with the cut sides facing up.
Bake in a preheated 200°C oven for 13 minutes; remove, sprinkle sesame seeds over them, and bake 5 more minutes so the edges darken lightly.
Remove from the oven, rest for 5 minutes, and serve at room temperature or warm.
💡 Tip: Thick-fleshed kapia-style peppers work best; watery pointed peppers turn sloppy on the tray. Adding the sesame seeds in the last 5 minutes keeps them from burning.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve with fresh bread and a bowl of strained yogurt.
